Oh the memories of my childhood and window wells. It's pretty rare to see black widows very often anymore.... When I was little - it seems like we found them quite often. They are a very scary spider. Grab the bug spray and go after it *wink.

We currently have a slice of pizza and a pop can in our window well (not from us).We had black widows at our house in AZ(outside). They would spin webs all down the side or front of the house. Last summer they were the worst and we would go out every few nights & get rid of all we could find (by we I mean Rick). I hate the little buggers!

We lived in Utah for a short time when I was growing up and I do remember the window wells being full of black widows!! Ick!We have found 2 black widows in our home over the years - no window wells needed. One in the garage and one in my bathroom in the middle of the night - that one freaked me out for a long time!YUCK!
